I think Kaku is referring to the human race, not immortality in the individual sense. Yes, man’s goal is to become like a mythical god and science is the only way to even come close to that. We already landed on the moon. No ancient prophet even did that. Wishful thinking and chanting will not make your myth a reality no matter how hard you try.

However for the next 3,500,000,000 years Mormovies teach us that any more evolution steeps are just a waste of time: “no matter how hard you try”.

Please take 1 minute of your life and put your name next to the truth you support:
.
.A) In favor of the evolution’s goal.
Janus

.B) Against the evolution’s goal.

I keep the faith that Sam Harris can be the modern Saul of Tarsus.

>> Can we ever know? Certainly, no prophet has a clue! Live and adapt and enjoy.

I also suggest you get your head out of any so-called ‘sacred’ books.

I get my head out of any so-called ‘sacred’ books and look at the universe and get to the same conclusion than The Prophet Mormovies.:
.
.

“man’s goal is to become like a mythical god “
.
.
.
“Evolution are functions, adapts, morphs, mutates, etc. to Live and adapt and enjoy”.

Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free

I would add, that any religion, by definition of being a religion, never provides evidence. Religion is believing based on faith and the lack of evidence. Since the scientific age, all beliefs should be based on scientific reasoning and evidence. There is no reason to rely on faith.
